Food Bank
St. Mark’s Food Bank
The food bank’s mission is to gather, manage and distribute resources to families or idividuals in a crisis situation. Donation of food and monetary donations from parishioners to the St. Jude Fund are used to support this ministry. Volunteers staff the center.
Please remember families in need while gathering harvests from your gardens! The food bank would love to supply fresh fruits and vegetables to those who depend on us for food.
This week the food bank is in need of the following:
Macaroni & Cheese
Soup
Saltine Crackers
Ever wonder what goes into the bags given out at the food bank? Here is a list:
-
2 cans each of vegetables, fruit, tuna, pork & beans, soup
-
1 can of spaghetti sauce
-
1 package of spaghetti
-
2 boxes of macaroni and cheese
-
1 box of cereal
-
1 jar each of peanut butter and jelly
As well as milk, eggs, meat, and bread.
Food Storage Shed
We are happy to announce the addition of a food storage shed! This shed will provide much-needed space and will enable us to load and unload food more efficiently. The construction of the storage unit was made possible by a private donation.
All costs associated are covered by this donation – no money donated to the St. Jude Fund, or other donations for food were used for this project.
